Ever since Sanjay Gagnani shifted from Delhi to Mumbai to pursue his acting dreams, the only thing that has been there on his mind is to be a Bollywood hero. But after years of struggle and having worked in films such as Rakhtbeej and Heroine (both in 2012) besides a string of popular TV shows, Sanjay has realised that it isn’t really important to just play a Bollywood hero.

“What matters the most is to entertain the audience and touch their hearts with your performances. There are so many actors in films who might not have played the lead or the typical hero, yet they’ve won audiences’ hearts,” he says.

Sanjay has earned a fan following with his small screen presence in shows such as Bairi Piya, Hamari Devrani, Veera among others and plans to venture out in the digital space, too. “While working on TV, I didn’t get much time to experiment in films or on the web, but now, I want to treat

2020 like a T20 cricket match. I want to hit the ball out of the stadium with good work in the digital space and films,” says the actor, who became a household name with his show Kundali Bhagya.

Keen to pace up his acting career, Sanjay is in talks with casting directors and hopes to get something interesting. “Whatever I do, I strive to bring in conviction to all the scenes written for me and add value to my project. I’m going to work even harder now, and I want to step into web space and do films as well. Rest I’ll leave it to destiny,” he says.
